The Top Contributor is a site dedicated to employees everywhere who have the vision of climbing the corporate ladder and becoming a top executive. Advisory Engineer and Businessman Fray Rodríguez, the founder of The Top Contributor, leads a group of professionals, in different fields and branches of corporate America, to collaborate on topics that affect the growth of an employee’s career and bring you expert advice that will fit your career road map and plans.

Working hard will take you up to a certain level in your company, but it will not take you all the way to the top, or at least not in the time you want, unless you put in practice the steps we will cover under The Top Contributor. These steps have proven to work for us and with determination and persistence from your part, they will work for you as well.

We are leaders in our respective field and as leaders we want to enable you to become a leader, get the promotion you deserve, and triumph in your career in the shortest period of time.

We will discuss topics in the following categories:

Career Development:

Here, we’ll talk about anything that might affect your career, such as salary, promotions, education, benefits, projects, office, working from home, leadership, client satisfaction, speaking in public, communication, tips to write a resume, finding a new job, and so on.

Top Contributor

Here, we’ll focus on how to be number one at what you do. This is a series of topics that Fray Rodriguez put together during the last two years and has presented to hundreds of professionals in the USA. These will be more extensive posts with systematic information that you can follow to improve your career. We will present them as chapters in a book to make it easier for you to follow each step of the process. Hopefully, we can publish the book when all the chapters are completed, and I will love to include your success story.

In the News

Because everything that happens around us affects our careers, our businesses, and lives, we will talk about anything that is relevant to you happening around the world. As the old saying goes: forewarned … forearmed.

Expanding Horizons

This is for more relaxed and wide open posts. Here we’ll talk about different skills outside of work, such as playing an instrument, being a wine connoisseur, or even dancing Tango. These skills can help you become a more rounded individual and will give you the edge to close a business deal with a client. We’ll also talk about the best travel spots for your next vacation or business retreat.

Funny Friday

Because everyone needs to laugh to keep their daily stress down and offer a better service to their clients, we’ll have clean, office-friendly jokes for you. Yes, even the most hard-working, top contributor employees need to take a break once in a while and laugh.
